Yodt Phair Preschool Complete!

Yodt Phair preschool is finished! The District and Provincial Education and Sports Department school inspectors were impressed with the school’s construction quality. Wondered how we attained its high quality, given the construction budget. The Yodt Phair preschool will be Phougood District’s model school. Provincial preschool training was being held in Yodt Phair during our visit.

Thank you Denise and Michael for helping GCAC pioneer preschool education in rural Luang Prabang villages and for setting excellent examples for the high quality, cost effective schools GCAC builds.

We attended the village baci ceremony for the school builders, who lived at the school for the last four months, working in close to freezing temperatures.

'It’s pretty easy to get passionate about helping when you see living conditions firsthand. I am so thankful that you have the infrastructure already established so it will be easier for those of us who are arriving late to the cause. I have so many images in my head from our trip and I know over time that I will lose most of them, unfortunately. However, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the feelings of exhilaration and heartbreak, nor the desire to help make a difference.'
